Well, not ANY but ANY SUCCESSFUL, exact quote is: --- If the server supports the Range header and the specified range or ranges are appropriate for the entity: o The presence of a Range header in an unconditional GET modifies what is returned if the GET is otherwise successful. In other words, the response carries a status code of 206 (Partial Content) instead of 200 (OK). --- As I read it - "the presence of a Range header" cause "the response carries 206 instead of 200" -- Andrey A.
